The 13 Best Blow Dryer Brushes for Every Hair Type, Tested and Ranked by Editors

I will always have a close relationship with my blow dryer, but there’s something about a blow dryer brush that can make life a thousand times easier. This two-in-one brush is equipped with the same type of motor as your hair dryer, which means it effectively dries and straightens while eliminating the need to juggle a round brush and a hot tool. Whether you have fine or curly hair, there’s a blow dryer brush that can boost volume and shine—or smooth down frizz. But the key feature that sets it apart from your standard blow dryer is that it majorly reduces styling time, so you can spend less time in the bathroom and more time admiring your new ‘do. And just a quick scroll through TikTok will offer you enough proof that it's the real deal. But what’s the best blow dryer brush?
